President Kenyatta to Meet Queen Elizabeth II in London

President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London.

On the sidelines of the Summit, the President will hold talks with leaders and investors in a bid to strengthen diplomatic ties and boost trade relations with other Commonwealth nations.

Kenyatta is expected to hold discussions with Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Theresa May. Other than trade and diplomacy, security and regional development will be part of President Uhuru's agenda during the one-week visit.

“We expect discussions that relate to our bilateral relations with the UK, which is very important because the UK is one of our big importers in terms of our products whether it is horticultural products like flowers, whether it is our tea and many more,” Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma said.

On Sunday, State House Spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the President will also visit the London Stock Exchange (LSE) to meet key investors and seek partnerships in his 'Big Four" Agenda.

He will also outline Kenya’s efforts in achieving inclusive economic growth and the role his administration is playing in supporting regional peace and security when he delivers a lecture at Chatham House on Tuesday.
